Stanley boss still waiting on Joyce

The midfielder missed the goalless draw with Macclesfield on Saturday with a dead leg and remains a doubt and, should he not be passed fit, John Miles will continue to deputise.

Ian Dunbavin should keep his place in goal ahead of on-loan Liverpool keeper Dean Bouzanis after he impressed against the Silkmen following a niggling knee injury.

Coleman, who continues to be linked to the vacant managerial position at Bradford, could be tempted into changing his midfield line-up after Chris Turner came off the bench to impress in place of Sean McConville.

John Mullin is still building up his fitness from a long-term ankle problem but will be named among the substitutes, but the game comes too soon for Leam Richardson (groin).

Meanwhile, Benin international Romuald Boco is currently training with the Reds but any possible deal looks unlikely to take place in time for the clash against the Imps.
